those_o testimony_n wherein_o something_o be_v affirm_v of_o christ_n which_o can_v not_o be_v affirm_v of_o he_o be_v he_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o that_o such_o one_o as_o give_v the_o father_n some_o prerogative_n above_o christ_n and_o so_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o father_n only_o since_o such_o a_o prerogative_n agree_v to_o no_o other_o be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o may_v also_o from_o other_o divine_a writer_n draw_v like_o testimony_n and_o argument_n although_o we_o have_v already_o produce_v not_o a_o few_o when_o we_o fetch_v testimony_n out_o of_o john_n because_o they_o contain_v the_o same_o or_o the_o like_a sense_n of_o these_o place_n therefore_o which_o remain_n we_o will_v give_v the_o first_o rank_n to_o that_o arg._n 24_o 11.3_o from_o 1_o cor._n 11.3_o which_o be_v very_o near_o to_o those_o word_n that_o be_v last_o of_o all_o cite_v out_o of_o john_n and_o other_o writer_n as_o be_v such_o wherein_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v do_v 1_o cor._n 11.3_o where_o paul_n speak_v in_o this_o manner_n now_o i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v that_o the_o head_n of_o every_o man_n be_v christ_n and_o the_o head_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v the_o man_n and_o the_o head_n of_o christ_n be_v god_n but_o there_o be_v no_o other_o head_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n or_o he_o have_v no_o head_n above_o he_o otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o be_v most_n high_a for_o every_o one_o easy_o perceive_v that_o to_o be_v one_o head_n signify_v to_o have_v some_o empire_n or_o power_n over_o he_o and_o in_o a_o certain_a sort_n to_o govern_v he_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o argument_n here_o the_o adversary_n again_o be_v wont_a to_o fly_v to_o their_o distinction_n of_o nature_n in_o christ_n as_o to_o a_o sacred_a anchor_n which_o notwitstand_v the_o reader_n may_v observe_v that_o we_o have_v section_n have_v see_v cap._n 3.14_o 16._o of_o this_o section_n before_o sufficient_o confute_v we_o repeat_v not_o all_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v speak_v we_o only_o desire_v that_o it_o shall_v here_o also_o be_v observe_v that_o christ_n be_v here_o likewise_o consider_v as_o a_o person_n for_o he_o be_v consider_v as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o man_n &_o consequent_o of_o every_o man_n that_o be_v as_o a_o lord_n appoint_v to_o rule_v every_o man_n even_o as_o the_o man_n also_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o woman_n but_o christ_n be_v such_o as_o he_o be_v a_o person_n wherefore_o if_o the_o adversary_n opinion_n concern_v christ_n be_v true_a he_o as_o a_o divine_a person_n and_o consequent_o the_o most_o high_a god_n must_v have_v a_o head_n over_o he_o which_o impli_v a_o contradiction_n and_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o they_o endeavour_v to_o escape_v who_o here_o use_v the_o distinction_n of_o nature_n neither_o may_v any_o one_o here_o say_v that_o in_o the_o former_a word_n indeed_o where_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o man_n he_o be_v consider_v as_o a_o person_n but_o in_o the_o latter_a he_o be_v look_v upon_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o a_o person_n for_o beside_o that_o this_o be_v affirm_v without_o reason_n it_o be_v disprove_v by_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n be_v the_o head_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o dominion_n and_o empire_n over_o the_o man_n but_o christ_n receive_v that_o dominion_n as_o he_o be_v a_o person_n why_o then_o be_v it_o not_o god_n make_v the_o head_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v here_o a_o person_n again_o if_o you_o inquire_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o have_v assert_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o man_n do_v likewise_o say_v afterward_o that_o god_n be_v the_o head_n of_o christ_n you_o shall_v find_v this_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a that_o he_o may_v not_o seem_v to_o leave_v god_n no_o further_o power_n over_o the_o man_n because_o christ_n be_v his_o head_n or_o lord_n and_o king_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v that_o god_n be_v also_o upon_o this_o very_a account_n the_o head_n or_o lord_n or_o king_n of_o the_o man_n because_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o every_o man_n in_o as_o much_o as_o god_n be_v also_o the_o head_n of_o christ_n himself_o for_o as_o the_o woman_n be_v not_o therefore_o exempt_v from_o the_o empire_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n because_o the_o man_n be_v her_o head_n in_o as_o much_o as_o christ_n be_v also_o the_o head_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o man_n himself_o so_o neither_o be_v the_o man_n exempt_v from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n because_o christ_n be_v his_o head_n since_o god_n be_v also_o the_o head_n of_o christ_n himself_o moreover_o the_o apostle_n speak_v this_o to_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o if_o we_o bring_v any_o dishonour_n to_o christ_n who_o be_v our_o head_n it_o will_v at_o length_n redound_v to_o god_n himself_o who_o be_v again_o the_o head_n of_o christ_n but_o neither_o of_o these_o reason_n will_v be_v of_o any_o force_n if_o god_n be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o head_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o man_n but_o if_o god_n be_v the_o head_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o that_o person_n as_o such_o final_o such_o a_o gradation_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v make_v as_o to_o ascend_v from_o the_o man_n to_o christ_n from_o christ_n to_o god_n as_o a_o different_a person_n from_o he_o if_o beside_o the_o humane_a there_o be_v another_o nature_n in_o christ_n to_o which_o it_o do_v no_o less_o agree_v to_o be_v his_o head_n than_o to_o a_o person_n different_a from_o he_o but_o mention_n be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o that_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o of_o this_o now_o if_o any_o one_o will_v fly_v hither_o for_o refuge_n as_o to_o say_v that_o by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o father_n be_v not_o understand_v but_o the_o whole_a trinity_n he_o must_v at_o least_o in_o the_o first_o place_n allege_v some_o passage_n from_o whence_o it_o may_v manifest_o appear_v that_o god_n distinguish_v from_o christ_n denote_v some_o other_o beside_o the_o father_n for_o we_o can_v allege_v innumerable_a one_o wherein_o even_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o adversary_n themselves_o it_o denote_v none_o but_o the_o father_n and_o it_o be_v otherwise_o apparent_a that_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v like_o hereunto_o be_v express_o attribute_v to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o be_v one_o head_n and_o to_o be_v one_o god_n but_o the_o latter_a be_v express_o affirm_v of_o the_o father_n of_o christ_n as_o every_o one_o may_v perceive_v from_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n john_n 20.17_o and_o those_o of_o the_o apostle_n ephes_n 1.17_o add_v hereunto_o that_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o god_n be_v call_v the_o head_n of_o christ_n do_v all_o agree_v to_o the_o father_n whether_o they_o agree_v to_o any_o other_o we_o have_v no_o assurance_n thereof_o or_o rather_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o they_o agree_v to_o no_o other_o namely_o because_o he_o give_v all_o empire_n to_o christ_n because_o he_o give_v the_o law_n by_o which_o he_o rule_v and_o govern_v we_o and_o also_o because_o he_o bring_v his_o will_n to_o a_o issue_n by_o his_o hand_n and_o provide_v for_o his_o own_o 2.11_o own_o isa_n 53.10_o john_n
